Aromatherapy for Vertigo
A Lovely Monday Morning to you all!
PLEASE STAY SAFE FROM CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19). FOLLOW GOOD HAND HYGIENE and MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING
Do you know………A sudden sensation of spinning (either of oneself or of external objects, surroundings) is one of the major signs of vertigo. I could personally vouch for this and certainly it is not a pleasant experience. Causes of vertigo:
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV): This is the most common cause of vertigo. Symptoms of BPPV are triggered by rapid change in head movement such as; tipping head up or down, or by lying down, or turning over, or sitting up in bed.
Infection: A viral infection of the vestibular nerve, called Vestibular Neuritis or Labyrinthitis can cause intense, constant vertigo.
Meniere’s disease: When excessive fluid builds up in the inner ear.
Migraine
Some of the common signs and symptoms of Vertigo are:
Dizziness
Lightheadedness
Unsteadiness (Loss of balance)
Blurred vision
Nausea and vomiting
Ringing in the ear (tinnitus)
Headache
Treatment: Medications are available that can relieve some symptoms. These drugs include antihistamines and anti-emetics to reduce motion sickness and nausea. There are a few exercises involve holding a certain position that can ease the discomfort of vertigo. These exercises are similar to the ones used in vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT). However, it has been found that certain specific essential oils can provide relief from the symptoms of vertigo:
Peppermint
Ginger
Lemon balm
Lavender
Thyme
Basil
Clary Sage
Frankincense
Rose
These oils are used commonly for the treatment of headaches, motion sickness, nausea and/or vertigo. They help stimulate blood and oxygen flow to the brain, opens up the breathing passage helping to decrease lightheadedness.
How to use essential oils for common vertigo:
To apply, gently massage the forehead and back of neck with two to three drops of the oil of your choice or inhale or oil can be diffused into the air from an aromatherapy diffuser..
If you experience dizziness along with a new extreme headache, high fever, loss of vision, leg or arm weakness, fainting, chest pain or difficulty speaking please seek medical attention immediately.
